Franchise

The award-winning, $3 billion Skylanders franchise has sold
through more than 250 million action figures2 since
pioneering the toys-to-life category in 2011 with the debut of Skylanders®
Spyro’s Adventure. The game originated a play pattern that
seamlessly bridged physical and virtual worlds across multiple
platforms. In 2012, Skylanders® Giants further evolved the genre
and added LightCore® characters to the
collection of interaction figures. Skylanders® SWAP Force™,
which launched in 2013, introduced an all new play pattern –
swapability. In 2014, Skylanders® Trap Team
reversed the magic of bringing toys to life by allowing players to pull
characters out of the digital world into the physical world and became
the number 1 kids’ console game globally2.
